DJ EZ - Fabriclive 71: DJ EZ - CD DIGISLEEVE

One of the UK’s finest – the legendary DJ EZ steps up to deliver FABRICLIVE: 71 – a journey into the past, present and future sounds of UK Garage and beyond.

North London’s DJ EZ is a name that should be familiar to anyone who has followed UK underground dance culture over the past 20 years. A stalwart of the airwaves, EZ cut his teeth in the late 80s and early 90s DJing on pirate radio stations such as Dance 93FM and Freek FM, playing a wide range of house and techno influences, before landing his big break with a weekly show on Kiss FM in November 2000. By this point he was fully entrenched in the sounds of UK Garage and Bassline, with the show – and his unprecedented success mixing the ‘Pure Garage’ compilation series – giving him status as one of the key figureheads of the scene. With Garage mutating into Dubstep in the mid-00s, and then coming out the other side in more recent times, DJ EZ has stayed strong throughout, continuing to deliver the goods week-in-week-out, and with many of the UK’s current hot producers citing this era as their influence, DJ EZ’s legend continue to grow.

"Having been DJing for many years now, I have to balance my sets to cover the new EZ follower whilst not forgetting the ones that supported me to get where I am today. It’s not an easy task but I believe this mix will appeal to the wide audience that I am fortunate to play to at this time. If you like your 2 Step, 4x4, Bass, Underground beats, Vocals, Old Skool and New – FABRICLIVE 71 is the mix for you." DJ EZ
